Yes mid 50's (F) will be pretty nice for December. Did you have heated grips installed? Harley's heated ones work well. The other item I might suggest are the fork deflectors which fit right behind the passing lamps, they really keep a lot of air and buffeting coming from under the shield.
amen on the fork air deflectors, took them off my 2015 King and put em' on my M8 King..they really make a big difference in fatigue from not being such a bobble head on long trips
Had a wet ride home from the dealers on Saturday & took it out for a run Sunday, weather wasn't great 6C & very damp & foggy, but figured it needed a clean after ride back from dealers anyway. Very happy with the decision to trade my slim, not sure I'm going to get much riding in this time of the year though.
She's a beaut! Weather here has been in the twenties with snow. Got so frustrated I went out for a couple hours on Friday anyway; had fun watching reactions...

great choice! are you going to continue with the blackout? I used the HD Bike Builder tool to view what it would look like and it looks great, just not crazy about spending the bucks to do it.

I will over time, have decided on the black engine casings, i'll get them done with the 1st service. Plan on blacking out the front end too, but like you not keen on the added cost ! I won't black out all the chrome though as i think a small amount is a good contrast.
Good info, I'm 5'7" myself and am looking at windshields. Did you get the vented one?
No, it is "recurved " at the top. It flips out a bit to add another inch or so of still air behind it ( according to Clearshield). Wont know till spring though.
